STAND FOR UIVIBRELLAS.

PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 307,193, dated October28, 1884.

Application filed January 14,1884. (No model.)

To ctZZ whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, FRANK R. HAZELTON,

. a citizen of the United States, residing at (loir cord, in the countyof Merrima-c and State of New Hampshire, have invented a certain new anduseful Improved Stand for Umbrellas and Parasols; and I hereby declarethe following to be a clear and exact description of the same.

The object of my invention is to provide a stand for this purpose whichis at once ornamental and substantial, and which is made readilyadaptable to a counter or the floor of a store.

.The invention consists of two circular: disks mounted one abovetheother upon a central upright support, which is made of segment-s, partof which are `square and part round iron, the lower segment of which isso fitted within a suitable iron base as to revolve when desired.

I will here refer to the accompanying drawings, forming part of thisspecicatiomin which similar letters of reference indicate correspondingparts in all the figures, of which- Figure 1 is a vertical section ofone of my improvedv stands constructed as intended for door use. Fig. 2is a detail plan View of the lower disk or wheel, showing the circulardepressions upon which umbrellas or parasols may rest. Fig.Srepresentsaverti'cal section of myimproved stand as constructed for useupon a store-counter. Fig. 4: is a detail of the upper disk, showingholes through which umbrellas may be passed. Fig. 5 is an equivalentwheel composed of a rim, spokes,and a centersocket for the reception ofthe upright column, as is provided in the other two. Fig. 6 is a detailof the wire pin,which rests in holes formed in either of the wheels, asis shown in Figs. l and 3.

A is the line of door or counter; B B,a cast iron base. C is the squareupright rod,which revolves in the base, and is secured therein by thenut c. C is an extension to the center column,formed in two parts forconvenience in packing, which` is used only upon the stand constructedfor use upon the floor. D is the lower disk or wheel, and E E are theupper ones, the wheelE being perforated with holes of the proper sizefor the reception of umbrellas, and the wheel E being made more 'open bymeans of four or more spokes connecting the center with the rim.

F represents rods, of which there are four or more projecting from theball f, and the outer ends of said rods are provided with ornamentalballs f.

The pins G are composed of wire one-quarter inch (more or less) indiameter, one end of which is bent so as to form an eye, and the otherbeing turned or filed down to t the small holes e', of which there maybe from four to eight (more or less) in either or all of the disks orwheels D E E. These wheels D, E, and E are made three feet (more orless) in diameter, and the lower wheel, D, is provided withsemi-spherical depressions d,which serve to keep the umbrellas orparasols separate from each other, and the upper wheel, E, is providedwith holes e, through which umbrellas may be passed and their bottoms ortips rest in the depressions d, of which there are the same number inthe wheel D as there are holes e in the wheel E. The number of the holese 'or of the semi-spherical depressions d will necessarily vary with thediameter of the wheels D E; but they will be placed about as closetogether as is represented by the few holes which are shown in the planviews of the said wheels, Figs. 2 and 4. The wheel VE may be regarded bysome as more convenient, for the reason that umbrellas may be placedtherein and removed more rapidly than when using the wheel E; but thelatter has its advantages when it is desirable to display other goods.The wire pins G are designed for the display of fancy articles-such, forinstance, as silk handkerchiefs and other like goods. The rods F arealso designed for the display of fancy articles. Handkerchiefs, hosiery,and even light-weight parasols may be depended therefrom. The uprightGis formed of square iron, each end for a distance of two inches (moreor less) being turned round, the lower end of which is fitted to aholeformed in the base B, but not so snug but that it may revolve whenrequired in said hole. The nut c may or may not be used. Square holesXXare formed in the center of each of the wheels D E'E to fit the rod C,and the lower wheel, D, resting, as it does, upon the base B, requiresnothing to hold it in place; but the upper ones, E or E', must besustained in position either by means of the pin shown in Figs. l and 3or a collar or some equivalent device. The extension C ICO is four feet(more or less) in height, and is preferably made of round iron.and bymaking it in two parts, as shown in Fig. l, it is easily packed forshipment with the other parts of the stand. The lower end ofsaidextension is provided with a hole,which may be threaded to or ttedsnugly over the top end of the square bar O. Vhen my improved stand isconstructed fo floor use, as is shown in Fig. l, it will stand sevenfeet (more or less) high; but it may be easily converted into acounter-stand,as shown by Fig. 3, by simply unscrewing theextension Cand in its stead screwing on the ornament F, and by substituting thebase B which is shown in Fig. 3 for the one shown in Fig. l. Having thusfully described my invention,

what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is-

In a stand for umbrellas and parasols, having a base, B B', carrying theupright rod formed of the segments C C, the said part C being providedwith horizontal arms F, projecting from the ballf at the top thereof,the Combination, with the rod C, of the disk D, having semi-sphericaldepressions d. and the wheel E, provided with holes e, holding the pinsG, all constructed and operating substantiallyin the manner shown anddescribed, and forY the purpose set forth.
